Fair and Fast Decarbonisation of the Transport Sector: Integrating place into local and regional modelling and assessment tools.

该博士学位将建立新的工具，使地方当局、企业和公民了解他们所在地区交通运输的快速脱碳是什么样子，更重要的是，如何公平地做到这一点，并以更好的方式为所有人带来更好的健康和经济成果。在未来20年里，从30年来在减少交通运输碳排放方面毫无进展转变为零碳排放，对政策制定者、企业和公民来说是一项重大挑战。不同的途径是开放的，它们对需求管理、行为改变和技术适应替代的重视程度不同。这些战略将对地方和社区产生不同的影响，如何管理过渡将对公平产生重要影响。然而，我们没有必要的工具来审视运输和能源，并探索不同地方背景的重要性。该博士学位将与奥雅纳合作开发新的想法，以推进基于地点的脱碳议程。关于城市和国家层面的交通脱碳方案，已有大量文献（Brand et al., 2020; Gota et al., 2020; Creutzig, 2016）。这些研究的重点是关于汽车电气化将以多快的速度发生的假设之间相互作用的复杂性，以及行为转变和需求减少的潜力，以及行动将在多大程度上满足碳预算约束。这种方法的应用现在开始渗透到次国家和地方交通战略的制定中（WYCA, 2020； LCC, 2021）。本研究试图解决的差距是不同选择的空间和社会影响。这项研究将涉及与次国家级政府的密切合作，对目前的做法进行分类，并了解基于地点的方法将填补的关键研究空白。

This PhD will build new tools to enable local authorities, businesses and citizens understand what the rapid decarbonisation of transport could look like in their areas and, critically, how this can be done fairly and in ways which produce better health and economic outcomes for all.Shifting from 30 years of no progress in cutting carbon emissions from transport to zero carbon in the next two decades is a major challenge for policy makers, businesses and citizens. Different pathways are open which place different emphasis on demand management, behavioural change and technological adaptation substitution. These strategies will impact places and communities differently and how the transitions are managed will have important equity impacts. However, we do not have the tools necessary to look across transport and energy and to explore the importance of different local contexts. This PhD will develop new ideas to advance the agenda of place-based decarbonisation working in partnership with Arup.There is a well established literature on the options available to decarbonise transport at both city and national scales (Brand et al., 2020; Gota et al., 2020; Creutzig, 2016). These studies focus on the complexity of the interactions between assumptions on how quickly electrification of vehicles will happen, alongside the potential for behavioural shifts and demand reduction and the extent to which actions will meet the carbon budget constraint. The application of this kind of approach is now beginning to flow through into the development of sub-national and local transport strategies (WYCA, 2020; LCC, 2021).The gap which this study seeks to address is the spatial and social implications of the different choices.The research will involve close partnership working with sub-national level governments to categorise current practice and to understand the key research gaps which the place-based approach will fill.
